The Lark

Michail Glinka’s “The Lark” was originally composed for piano and voice. Angela Klöhn has adapted the beautiful melody for solo harp. The delicate right hand melody rings out over the moving arpeggios in the left accompaniment creating a beautiful, ethereal sound!

Berceuse

What harpist doesn’t love playing the gorgeous “Berceuse” movement from Igor Stravinksy’s Firebird Suite? Well now you can play it as a harp solo using Michele Pinet’s arrangement! (Warning: pedal workout ahead!) It makes for a stunning solo harp piece for a recital!

Lonely Shepherd

If you’re a fan of composer Gary Schocker, you’ll want to check out this reissued solo composed by his father Paul Schocker. A haunting melody unfolds through this simple, flowing piece, which is dedicated to harp legend Mildred Dilling.
